expects there will be no necessity for any general tax. The revenue from the tolls on the canal the past year, exceeded $300000, and the duties on salt $100,000, which with the other sources of income from the canal fund, will produce an excess of revenue over the interest of the canal debt of $300,000. The state is capable of supporting a population of 14 millions.

Port-au-prince January 2. The anniversary of the 22d year of our indepen

dence was celebiated yesterday. The

regiments in garrison paraded in the morning at the place Petion. A numerous concourse ofcitizens assisted at this solemn festival. When the civil and military authorities were assembled, his Exc ellency

j the President of Hay ti, succeeded bv his i sitail, made his appearance at the hotel de , l.i Patrie, at the sound of trumpets and military music. After a discourse replete ' with feeling and energy, pronounced by i his Excellency, he took the customary oath I rather to die than submit to any foreign do- ; mination. Thiso ith was reiterated by the assistants; and accompanied by salutes of I artillery. The Senator Viallet, after the i cries of Vive la Republique, Vive Tlndej pendence. Vive la President Boer, had I ceased, delivered an address which produced the most lively sensations. The i troops then defiled and proceeded to the j parish church, where a Te Deurn was i performed with praise and thanksgiving. In the evening, n brilliant exhibition of

tire works was given at the government house; and a supper was provided at the national palace, to which a great number were invited.

Pirites. We learn by the brig Clarion, arrived at Boston, in 20 days from St. John Porto Rico, that a Spanish brig, which had been captured by a Colombian privateer, and a prize crew put on board ordered for St. Barts,' arrived at St. Johns a few days before the Clarion sailed, the prize crew having killed the prize master and brought her in. Eight sail of transports with French and Spanish troops, under convoy of two French frigates, had arrived at St. Johns; besides which, a frigate and a man-of-war brig were at anchoi in the harbor. The gang of pirates which we have already stated was taken to St. Johns, had been condemned to death; the captain and 1 2 others to be shot on the 29th April, and nine to be executed a few days after.

Murder Again.—The Editor of the East

Florida Herald states on the 29th ult.

that he had just received information from Samuel Y. Garey, sub-Indian Agent of a horrid murder having been perpetrated on

the body of Mr. Van Swearinger, a per-

son in the employment of Major Chairs,

the contractor, by two Indians, supposed

to be Seminoles. The murder appears

to have been committed on the 2d or 3d of

March, on or near St. Johns, about 3 miles from Pilatka, on the Alachua. Mr. Swear-

inger was on his way to Hambly's settle-

ment, with rations for the Indians. His

body was found on the 25th. A ball had passed into his head, and another into the breast.

The Island of Cuba. Wc the other day communicated some intelligence from Havana, which induced us to suppose that much alarm existed there, and that the Governor did not consider his authority very secure. We have to-day the annexed information in the New-York Mercantile Advertiser. "We learn ofCapt. FonnKS, of the ship Falling, 'that Martial law was declared at Havana on the 5th inst. nnd all newspapers and letters from the United States

were closely examined previous to their delivery. Passengers arriving without passports, were immediately imprisoned." There is reason to believe that the only bar to a declaration of Independence in Cuba, is a dread of consequences from the coloured population. Fed. Gazette.

Destructive Fire. One of the most extensive and destructive fire?, witnessed ed in the United States for many years, occurred at Boston on the 5th ult. The (ire originated in a three story frame building, the counting room of the inspector general of fish. The buildings destroyed were, on Doanc street 4 ; on Bangs or Lobster alley 3; on State street 5; on Broad street 4; back of Broad street 1; on Kilbv street 10; on Liberty square 4; on Liberty street 3; on Centre street 1 9 making in all fifty three houses. It is not known how this fire originated ; some supnose by combustion, others think it the

The whole distance of this navigation is at

least three hundred miles by water, and more than two hundred miles by the nearest land route. It passes five canals and twenty-eight locks, which overcome a fall of two hundred and seventeen feet.

Another Canal. A meeting of the

; members of the Framingham Canal Com

pany is to be holden at Westfield, Massachusetts, for the legal organization of the

corporation previous to a prosecution of

j tne work. A survey is ordered by the legislature for a canal from the Hudson to ; the Connecticut, and from the latter to Boston. Endeav rs are also making, by , removingobstructions,inthe river and otherwise, for a more free navigation of the I Connecticut, from its mouth to its source. ; Should these projects be carried into successful i operation, the productions of the (country. bordering on the Missouri and the i Mississippi, may be brought into the heart j of New-England, at a comparatively small

expense. Uracle.

Pittsburgh, savs Niles, is full of bustle and business. The arrival or departure of steam boats takes place almost daily. Vast quantities of valuable products have been brought down the Monongahcla and

Allegh any rivers during the present season and, a few davs since, the 'American'

left Pittsburgh for Brownsville, being the

hrst steam boat that ever navigated the

tirst named river.

Warning. On the 5th Inst. Mr. Jnmw Richmond, aged 59, of Bristol, in this county, was killed in a very singular manner. It being town meeting day, a large crowd had assembled, and were viewing a stud horse, when another stud was led up, and on the two horses approaching each other, they commenced kicking, and Mr. R. unfortunately was between their heeU; they both struck him at the same time, one in the back and the other in the abdomen he livep! only 30 minutes. Several of the byslanders were hurt by the horses, but none other seriously. Ontario Hep.

New-Islands. The editor of the Nan tucket Inquirer has published a list of a

bout a hundred rccentlv discovered islands,

clusters of i-latids, and reefs, in the North

and SofitS 'Pacific oceans, which he says

are not 'found in the charts in general use and which he has obtained from manuscripts of whaling ships, noting their respective latitudes and longitudes.

An inquiry is instituted in England as to

I the propriety and expediency ol permit- ; ting the free exportation of machinery.

I he spirit of the age, which is adverse to all monopolies and restrictions will, il may be hoped, lead to an affirmative decision, not only as respcct9 machinery but artificers. According to the present regulations of Great Britain, a mechanic or manufacturer may not expatriate himself, however urgent his distress at home, or tempting his prospects elsewhere. JV, Y.

Volumes would scarcely contain what has been said and written on the subject of Intemperance. Families driven from affluence to poverty and rags, have been held up as living spectacles to warn mankind of the evil consequences of the inebriating bowl and bacchanalian revels the dews of helicon have besprinkled the poets harp and the muses have lent their aid to paint the horrors of drunkenness, whilst little ha been said of the Distiller, who extracts from the innocent productions of nature that liquid lire for which the souls and bodies of his fellow men serve as fuel. , ' ,

THOLIilS OV7EIJ, JR. HAS just received from Philadelphia, a eeneral assortment of FOREIGN and DOMESTIC GOODS, of the latest pattern? consisting of DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, HARDWARE, &c The above Goods having been purchased befoTO the late rise in prices, will be sold on the usual terms. 5th month 7th, 1825. 59 THE saleof lots in the to wn of AT1C A will cnm nience on the last Monday in May, 1825, and will besoM on a genetous credit. This town is laid off on the East bank of the Wabash, opposite the mouth of Pine creek : the situation is beautiful, and not exceeded if equalled, by any in the Western Country, both for beauty and health. To describe all the advantages that attends this situation, would be as useless as it would be tediou3 but it is absolutely necessary for the 6ake of those wishing to become settler? on the Wabash, to assure

them that the site is delightful, in respect to fancy, health and commerce; the adjoining country hat been healthy, and the soil is not inferior to an) tract of country north-west of the Ohio.- The Wabash, at this place, and for a considerable distance above is navigable for steam boats of almost any description: the advantage of leading roads through this place, together with the navigation of the. river will render it a place of business for Merchants and Mechanics; and it has great advantages over almost any situation on the river in respect of its having a number of never f.tilmg springs, that rise thirty feet above the highest lots in the town, (the towa rises gradually fifty feetabove high water mark,)and with a very small expense can be raised at the corner of every lot in town, by a fountain pump. AT1CA. Is laid out on a liberal plan, with wide streets and alleys, makii.g every lot to. have a street and alley. We deem it a folly to give any further description, as those who wish to purchase will come and see for themselves. DANIEL STUMP, GEO. HOLLINGS WORTH.
